HISTORY OF DERBY.
Youngs, who came from England in 1640, and landed at New Haven. There on the 2 1st of October, 1640, the Rev. Mr Youngs "gathered his.church anew" under the auspices of the Rev John Davenport, minister, and Theophilus Eaton, governor of New Haven, and in the sime autumn Mr. Youngs and his church, consisting of 12 or 13 families took up their abode in Southold, then comprising the whole northeastern part of Long Island, landing at the harbor of what is now Southold village, on the Peconic bay, where as a church and town they retained their connection with the New Haven Colony until 1662, and with Connecticut until 1674.
Peter Hallock, was the first of the thirteen who stepped on shore at Southold, that part of the village being still called" Hallock's Neck " and the beach extending from it " Hallock's Beach " 'The tract of land called Oyster Ponds, now called Orient, was purchased from the Indians by him. He then returned to England for his wife who when he married her was a widow with one son by a former husband, a Mr Howell, whom he promised if she accompanied him, her son should share in his property. When he returned he found the Indians had resold Orient, and he then purchased, about ten miles west of Southold village, a farm extending from Long Island Sound on the north to Peconic Bay on the south, and extending west into Aque- bogue, about ten miles west of Mattatuck village.
His original homestead and that of his wife's son Howell were on adjacent lots and are still (or were in 1863) occupied by their descend- ants, B L. Hallock and S. Howell.
Peter Hallock had one son William who died in 1684, leaving four sons : Thomas, Peter, William H. and John. Of these John had four sons, one of whom, William. died at Brookhaven (Stony Brook near Setawket) in 1765. His son William, born in 1722, lived many years in Stony Brook, was in Greenwich during most of the Revolutionary war, in which he suffered much, in command of picket boats on the Sound. His daughter Anne (Mrs Lodowick Hackstaff) died in 1806, aged 83, and one of his three sons, William, Jr, was five years a vol- unteer in the Revolutionary army, and one year a prisoner in the old Sugar House, New York. His third son was the late Zephaniah Hal- lock, ship builder in Derby.

2. JOSEPH, his son, said to have been born at Milford in 1642, was probably the Joseph who m Apr 8, 1668. and settled at that time on Birmingham Point. He with John Brown bought the Point. about 40 acres, of Alexander Bryan, June 5. 1665, but Brown soon after removed to Newark, N J. About the time of his marriage Mr. Hawkins received a grant of land from the town, lying north of and adjoining to this pur- chase ; the northern boundary of which crossed the Neck from about where the Ousatonic dam now is eastward, a little north of what is now known as the old Hawkins house, and down that little brook to the Naugatuck river. Mr. Hawkins probably resided at first in a house on the Point, built by Thomas Wheeler of Stratford, and afterwards built a house where now the old Hawkins house stands, on Hawkins street, where he died in 1682. When Mr. Hawkins made the purchase on the Point, he is said to be " of Stratford." Who his wife was is not known. Ebenezer Johnson (the first), in a deed, calls Joseph Hawkins his brother, and the supposition is that he was brother-in-law by mar- riage, but how is not certain. Children :
